A couple days ago I wrote that my new NT server was hammering my samba servers. I fixed that by running them as daemons instead of from xinetd.
Now I see that something's been doing the same to ident, and I can't tell who. The NT server is shut down, so it's not that, and I'm getting the following in /var/log/syslog: May 2 21:35:56 evo xinetd[1826]: START: ident pid=5161 from=<no address> May 2 21:35:56 evo xinetd[5161]: FAIL: ident address from=<no address> May 2 21:35:56 evo xinetd[1826]: START: ident pid=5162 from=<no address> May 2 21:35:56 evo xinetd[5162]: FAIL: ident address from=<no address> May 2 21:35:56 evo xinetd[1826]: Deactivating service ident due to excessive incoming connections. Restarting in 10 seconds. May 2 21:35:56 evo xinetd[1826]: FAIL: ident connections per second from=<no address> (I'm using pidentd.) Any suggestions for this one? At least with the netbios thing I could see that it was coming from the NT box, but for this one it isn't giving me the address it's coming from.
